I'd be surprised if they weren't already charging for inbound SMS messages. If you don't have a text messaging plan, you are generally charged per message; inbound & outbound. If you have a text plan, this shouldn't be a concern.

You certainly will, yes. I believe your carrier can block certain numbers from reaching you if you request it. But you don't have that capability to selectively block SMS on your device. You can however, stop ALL SMS messages via a firewall setting on your Berry.

BB users should remember that you can send email to phones for no charge. You just need to get the carrier's email nomenclature (eg. tendigit#@txt.att.net). Also, some carriers have a different email nomenclature to send MMS. I don't want to pay more for unlimited text, so I usually email friends instead of text.
